My Helium miner is up and running now since Sunday. Made $8 in helium so far, but I'm seeing quite a few other hotspots. It's actually seeing another about 14.5km away in Arnold. It's really interesting technology. Here's my miner:

I mean, gage is pronounced exactly like it's spelled. Gauge, well, I don't know why there's a U in there. Phonetically that is pronounced like gouge or gawj. The English language is messed up and one of the hardest languages in the world to learn how to use properly.

Optimistic fishermen are the best fishermen. 🤣

BITO and BFT are great ways to invest in crypto without really investing in crypto. No need to create crypto wallets and have to learn all the crypto jargon and mess with tax implications that come with it. Speaking of taxes, I'll have to figure out how all that works before April as I mined my Bitcoin and Etherium 3 of my computer I have. Ran them for a couple months in the summer before they turned my office into an oven and made my electricity bills go through the roof. Really wasn't worth it at that point. But Etherium has gone up 50% since I stopped mining so I got some decent gains off what I mined so far.

I think it's different than those.

They are decided by a set price someone agrees to buy or sell something at what they think the future value of that will be.

For the most part. They are both futures ETFs so it all depends on how the people involved can "predict" what bitcoin is going to do.

Yep

I read the story about the guy that put $8k into SHIB around it's inception and 14 months later it's worth $5.7billion for him. I think I'm doing it wrong.

A guy I work with told me about BITO. It's interesting on how it works and hopefully BTC keeps up it's pace and it does well. There's another Bitcoin futures ETF called Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy (BTF) that's a little cheaper and doing about the same as BITO is right now.

I bought some BITO the other day and it's still in the red for me. I also have a few dollars worth of BTC and about $1000 worth of ETH. Just got my Helium hotspot and waiting for it to sync up so I can start earning some of that. I was into the GPU mining earlier in the year until it made my office into an oven and decided my expensive GPU wasn't worth ruining.

Yeah I looked up their website and there isn't any fishing really to be found. All hunting. I guess Gary wanted to focus on his Wagyu beef company as he slips into retirement.

Another one bites the dust. https://sgbonline.com/gsm-outdoors-acquires-gary-yamamoto-custom-baits/

Remember these cap strips that went in cap guns? They only worked half the time. They were more fun to hit with a hammer on concrete.

Gutierrez-Reed, the daughter of veteran Hollywood armorer Thell Reed, said on the Voices Of The West podcast that Rust was only her second film as a head armorer. She had just finished shooting the movie "The Old Way" with Clint Howard and Nicolas Cage. "It was a really badass way to start off a really long and cool career," she said on the podcast. "It was also my first time being head armorer as well," Gutierrez-Reed said. "I almost didn't take the job because I wasn't sure if I was ready, but, doing it, like, it went really smoothly." Gutierrez-Reed added that she was initially fearful of loading blanks. "I think loading blanks was the scariest thing to me because I was like 'oh, I don't know anything about it,'" she said. But her famous father, she said, helped train her up. Nope, she wasn't ready, and nope, she didn't know anything about it. It's pretty obvious the differences between a blank and a live round, and I think that someone that has even the slightest knowledge of guns could figure that out, much the less the "head armorer" of a movie set.

My thoughts on it: Why was a live round on a the set of a movie? There is absolutely no reason for one to be there unless there were ulterior motives.

It's actually about 4' lower than pool right now

I'll never launch out of Coffman ever again. That place is a circus in the summer and the large openness of the water there get ultra choppy with the wind and boats. I'll put in at Gravois Mills and just make the run from there if I want to head down the Gravois arm.

If I could go back in time and have a do-over I would be a blacksmith or a wood turner. But then again, back then there wasn't all these cool satisfying YouTube videos to watch other people work their crafts.

I always wondered where the Miramiguoa Park near Meramec State Park got it's name.

My dad hates squirrels. He has several pin oaks in his backyard and they get little burls on the branches. The squirrels chew through the branches to knock the burls to the ground to take away to eat. He picks up 30-40 branches daily in his small yard.

Overhead is certainly cheaper if you keep lobbies closed and shut down overnight. I work for the state in the casinos. Most of them haven't or are just now finally turning on their self service drink fountains. They've saved a ton over the last year and a half not having those on I bet. Employee levels are still super low too. And casino revenue is at or near all time highs with lower admission rates. It all makes absolutely no sense if no one is working, where people are getting money to spend in casinos.
